About It o'clock Saturday tiiuht the annual fever that criipcd a
maior portion of the sportti-mindrd from early December until late
March peaked . . . The crisis passed . . . and the ravai-es of "Winter

raw tempers, a little impatience,
some frustration and an occasional
hangover. But now conies the easi

stand hack and take an objective
view of the whole proceeding.
The coaches are glad it's over,
also. Especially baseball and track
coaches, oil yes. and football coach
es, tu say nothing of the basketball
coach himself.
In each of the tournaments fin
ishing across the land last week
end there is but one coach who
couldn't be blamed if he were to
suggest thai he had done every-
thing just right . . and that's
the guy who had the champion,
ship team. And even he, taking s
minute to reflect, will recall many
moments of decision, times where
Lady Luck took over for him (or
one of his players made the right
move).
The rest of them, from the run

They're glad it's oxer now . . .

They will remember well the shot
they missed that might have
helped to move them up another

or the shot they made that did.
So you see. it's not really over

END OF A GREAT YEAR The Klamath Union Hiqh Pelican basketba
learn finished the 1959-60 season with an outstanding 21-5 win loss record,
capping the performance with a thrilling overtime victory over South Salem
Saturday night in the 42nd annual Oregon A-l prep tournament. The per.
formances of the young squad members and those of the team as a whole
indicated to tournament viewers that Klamath Falls would be represented
at the big show again next year. In the photos above, team captain Bob
Lewis happily accepts the third place trophy from Dr. Lawrence Winter,
Portland, OSAA vice president. In the picture at right, Paul Bishop, who was
named to the All-Star first team, congratulates Marshliold's Mn Counts,
the tourney's top scorer, also on the All-Star team. Between Bishop and
Counts is South Salem's Jay Brack, who, like Jerry Anderson, far right of
Medford, and Sandy Nosier, second from right of South Eugene, was named
to the All-Star first team. Pelican Bruce Briclcner, a junior, was selected to
the All-Star second team. Others voted to the second team included Bo
Blair, South Eugene, Warren Newell, Cleveland, Rod Young, Lake Oswego,
Clauis Nickelberry, Jefferson, and Leon Johnson, David Douglas.
